How long will swelling last after liposuction

Liposuction is a more effective way to lose weight and many candidates are more enthusiastic about it. Although liposuction I does not require incisional surgery, there is also swelling that can also occur The swelling period of liposuction surgery is about three to four weeks, and a period of severe swelling usually occurs about three days after surgery. Inflammatory oozing, the presence of swelling fluid and possible blood oozing from the liposuction area are the main causes of swelling during this phase. During this period, there may be some exudate at the eye of the liposuction, some pulling pain in the liposuction area, bruising of the skin and other manifestations. Therefore, the doctor will usually put the candidate in a shapewear after the surgery and ask the candidate to rest in bed for 1-3 days. For lower limb liposuction, bed rest is even more important. Generally, you will be in the rapid swelling phase on the 4th-7th day, and will go in the rapid swelling phase after the severe swelling phase. During this phase, the pain in the liposuction area will gradually disappear and the bruising of the skin will gradually improve. The sutures of the liposuction mouth can be removed in 7-10 days (I personally use protein sutures that do not need to be removed). Before the sutures are removed, the wound should not be touched with water to avoid infection. During this period, it is still necessary to wear shapewear throughout the day; you can already resume your daily work and life while avoiding a lot of physical work. After the rapid swelling reduction period, you will go into the continuous swelling reduction period. During this period, the bruising and pain in the liposuction area will gradually disappear. The damage to the subcutaneous tissue in the liposuction area begins to repair, and the damage to the peripheral sensory nerves of the skin has not yet been completely reconstructed, which may cause some stiffness and numbness in the skin in the liposuction area.
